Criminal Defense Attorney in Greenwich, CT

Skilled Criminal Lawyer Assisting Clients in Stamford, Darien, and Throughout Fairfield County

I am Douglas J. Wells, a criminal defense lawyer in Greenwich. I take a results-oriented approach to defending people from all walks of life against criminal charges. Although most cases do not go to trial, I will be fully prepared to make a compelling argument before a judge and jury if that is what is likely to achieve the best possible outcome. As your attorney, I will advise you on the pros and cons of each course of action and implement the best strategy to help protect your rights.

Providing a Strong Defense Against a Wide Range of Criminal Charges

I am trained to provide a strong defense against all types of criminal allegations. Much of my practice involves defending against the following charges:

DWI and motor vehicle offenses: A drunk driving arrest can lead to all sorts of problems, including the loss of your driving privileges. I defend individuals charged with DWI, including first offenders. I have a complete understanding of potential DWI penalties, and I will investigate the facts of your case to achieve the best possible outcome.

Domestic violence: Aside from the criminal penalties, a domestic violence accusation can force you to move out of your home. I will explore the potential defenses and take decisive action aimed at a dismissal or reduction of the charges.

Drug possession: I defend people accused of illegal possession of all types of drugs, including prescription drugs. Depending on your criminal history, you may be eligible for a drug education program instead of receiving a criminal conviction. If there are any weaknesses in the states case, I will find them and work toward a successful resolution.

Skilled Handling of Juvenile Crime Cases

A significant portion of my criminal defense practice involves defending young people accused of criminal activity. I recognize a conviction can have a negative impact on a young persons life, and I will work hard to minimize the potential consequences.

Helping Truckers Protect Their Livelihoods

As part of my criminal law services, I represent commercial truck drivers who are facing all types of serious charges, such as CDL violations and moving violations, as well as overweight truck citations and trucking log violations. My goal is to resolve these charges without adversely affecting your driving privileges and to minimize the fines.
